A supplier relationship in the 21st century represents more than a mere exchange of goods for money. Bosch is certainly not the only company to think this way. But we are among the most convincing masterminds and precursors behind an intensive, long-term partnership model.

The balance must be right to ensure that everything works in harmony in this partnership. In concrete terms this means: Bosch expects a lot, Bosch offers a lot. On several levels, simultaneously. Is this an incentive or a hurdle? That's for you to decide.

Are you ready for take-off?

You must fulfill one of these standards: preferably QS 9000, otherwise TS 16949 or VDA 6.1.

The more parts and components we require, the greater the challenge we place on our supply partner, not just as a manufacturer but also as a developer. We expect high levels of personal and technical capacity from you in this regard. The duties and responsibilities of your development department are specified in a separate contract.

What leaves your company is of top quality? Then you can confirm this for us in writing with a clear conscience. Our aim is a fault quota of zero.

Bosch is one of the founders of this web-based electronic market place. We will handle major parts of the purchasing process such as submitting quotations on this platform with you.

You cannot complain about a lack of change? Then our agreements will certainly come in handy: they outline a medium-term order volume to give you greater planning security.

We will continuously offer you an insight into innovation from Bosch, not just by sending you information but also by inviting you in person to attend carefully prepared, lively training sessions.

Together, we will set ourselves objectives for our collaboration. We will support you in every possible way to this in word and deed.

Do you have what it takes to be among the best? Our strategy is to concentrate an ever larger part of our entire purchase volume over a manageable number of selected suppliers. There preferred suppliers will have first priority when we require new parts.

A look into our business figures proves it: Bosch is growing solidly and constantly. We are now inviting you to benefit from this growth.
